I know this seems like a shameless plug coming from a guy that hardly ever posts, but I thought some of you might be interested in the results possible using templates in Lightroom to create a website. My new site is created entirely using TTG Pages, TTG Gallery Pro, and TTG Auto Index. You can check out their stuff at The Turning Gate. All the galleries are done in HTML, so pretty much anything will be able to render them.
They also offer a simple application to create mobile galleries. You can check mine out on your iPhone or other fancy phone: http://www.montetrumbull.com/m.
Thanks for taking a look and let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Hey Monte - the site looks great and the photos are outstanding. For some reason I'd never taken the time to enjoy your work. I'm glad I finally did and it's clear I've been missing out. Congrats on the new website!

Thanks Bret. Maybe I just need to let people know I am around occasionally... I really appreciate the compliment.

Hello Monte,
Great site...the look and feel, the navigation and best of all your great images. I can tell you spent many hours working on this masterpiece.
Only 1 nit . On the page where you show an example of your framed work I am a bit distracted by the bright window above the piece. Perhaps you could take the same shot but in the late evening.
BTW, the photo of you on your "About" page looks very familiar!
Great work (as always) Monte. I would expect nothing less from you.
Great site. My only nit is when I see a great picture I like reading a little narrative on it (where, how created, story etc).

Looks great, Monte! I really enjoyed looking through your images again.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Jim, thanks for reminding me to replace that picture. I threw that one in there as a placeholder...

Great job, Monte! Nice and clean with emphasis on your beautiful images. The mobile site turned out great, too!! The animated pop-up for the individual image works nicely on my Android and my buddies iPhone.

Monte,
No problem if you want to use my shot on your site. I'm sure we can conjure up a mutually beneficial financial arrangement
